Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 20 –24 pepperoni slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoons chopped bell peppers optional

Instructions
  

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop bell peppers if using them. Shred the cheese if not already done. Keep everything ready near your cooking area. This makes the process smooth and quick.

Heat the Pan

  • Place a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter. Let it heat gently. A warm pan helps the tortilla cook evenly and become crispy.

Place the First Tortilla

  • Put one tortilla in the pan. Let it warm slightly for a few seconds. This step helps prevent soggy texture. It also makes it easier to spread toppings.

Add Pizza Sauce

  • Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the tortilla. Do not add too much. Too much sauce can make the quesadilla soggy. Keep it light for best results.

Add Cheese and Toppings

  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add pepperoni slices evenly. You can also add bell peppers and chili flakes. The cheese will melt and hold everything together.

Cover with Another Tortilla

  • Place another tortilla on top. Press it gently with a spatula. This helps the layers stick together. It also ensures even cooking.

Cook Until Golden

  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side. Flip carefully using a spatula. Cook the other side until golden and crispy. The cheese inside should be fully melted.

Slice and Serve

  • Remove from the pan and place on a board. Let it cool slightly. Cut into wedges using a knife. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or dip of your choice.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option
  • Add mushrooms or olives for more flavor
  • Try different cheeses like cheddar or mix blends
  • Cook on low heat to avoid burning
  • Use turkey pepperoni for a lighter version
  • Add garlic powder for extra taste
